Thisinvention relates togarment hangers and the primary-object is to provide a hanger of the usual arcuate or bow type with a means whereby the garment may be securely supported on the hanger, so that it cannot slip off and fall upon the floor and thus become soiled and damaged. A further object in providing a means for securely supporting, the garment on the hanger, is to prevent or at least make more difficult and reduce the stealing of garments, which is well known to result in enormous losses to stores, especially where womens apparel [such as expensive gowns of light and delicate materials are displayed and oifered for sale to the public.

Further and more specific objects will be disclosed in the course of the following specification, reference being had tothe accompanyin drawing, in which:

ig. 1"is a perspective view of a garment hanger, embodying my invention.

Fig. 2 is a top or plan 'view of a garment hanger as shown in Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is an elevation as shown in Fig. 1. 55 Referring to the drawing more particularly and by reference characters, 1 designates an arcuate or bow shaped garment supporting member in which is centrally secured a hook 2. Each arm of the arcuate member lis pro- -80 vided with a cut out portion 3 communicating with an elongated arcuate channel 5 by means of the contracted portion 4.

A garment hanger provided with a means for securely holding the garment such as disclosed in Figs. 1, 2,.and 3 can be readily made at small expense. Owing to the fashions now cannotremove it without slipping the shoulders or shoulder straps through the openings, which act must be done manually and reuires more time for the removal of garments t an from the usual type of hanger.

Having thus explained the nature of the invention and a way of constructing and using the same, without, however, having attempted to set forth all the forms in which it nliay be made or all\ the modes of its use, I c a1m:-.

2. In a garment hanger comprising a substantially arcuate body, a terminal portion integral with thebody having an elongated channel provided with approaching overhanging walls forming a narrow entrance to the elongated channel.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name.
